My how time flies

OK. I admit it. I got so far behind on blogging, I just gave up. But, now I want to catch up as best I can. Here goes …

Precious Benjamin started preschool at Liberty Heights! He goes three days a week, and we just love his teachers and all that he is learning. He had to fill out a form at the beginning of the school year. His favorites include the following:

Favorite show: Curious George

Favorite animal: An Angry Bird

Favorite Game: Angry Birds and Rush on Xbox

Favorite Color: All of them

Favorite toy: hot wheels

First day of preschool shots…

Abby misses Benjamin when he is gone! But, I think she also has enjoyed the time with Mommy and Daddy.

We are missing the warm days we enjoyed at the end of summer.

Benjamin learned how to play soccer at Soccer Shots one day a week after preschool. He loved it so much, we signed him up for winter soccer.

Benjamin’s favorite friend at preschool is Luke. He talks about him all the time. Here they are hanging out on their field trip.

The kids had SOOOOOOO much fun this Halloween. We went to Entertrainment Junction to check out the pumpkin patch there, and for Trick or Treat, we hung out with friends from our Community Group. The kids got tons of candy, and they are still asking when they can have Halloween again. As they wait for next year, they are enjoying playing dress up with their costumes.

We really enjoyed hanging out at Niederman Family Farm with our friends and with Grandma Jan.

And, playing in the leaves was a big hit!

We had a great time this November up at Papa’s house celebrating his marriage to Grandma Deb. And.. Uncle Mike and Aunt Christy came up for a surprise visit. The kids were ecstatic that they got to play all weekend with their cousins. Benjamin cried so hard when they left.

I just love this photo of Benjamin. It is his pensive look…you can just see the wheels turning.

This was our first snow. The kids thought it was Christmas…literally. Apparently snow means Christmas.

So, now that we have the tree up, they keep waiting for snow to fall. No matter how many Christmas countdowns we have up around the house, apparently that is the deciding factor.
